Fast-Track Your Training

Posted on Tuesday, August 26th, 2014

Autumn 2014 term could be a good opportunity for you to fast-track your leader training and earn your Wood Badge!

Beaver, Cub, Scout, and Explorer leaders (and assistant leaders) need to complete modules 1 to 3 in their first five months as a leader, and then modules 5 to 19 within three years. However the scheme is very flexible: prior experience as a leader, a Young Leader, or experiences at work or college, is all recognised; courses are provided but most modules have an alternative way of learning available too e.g. workbook, video, e-Learning. You can complete the modules quickly in one term or gradually over the coming months.

For each module, once you’ve learned the material and put it into practice, then you need to validate it. Here are some dates this term when you can do LEARNING (left hand columns – in purple) and VALIDATION (right hand columns – in green).

LET ME KNOW by email if you would like to complete some or all of your training this term.
